Almond Joy Dip

Almond Joy Dip 8 oz neufchâtel cream cheese (light cream cheese), softened to room temperature 1/4 cup butter, softened to room temperature 3/4 cup powdered sugar 1-2 Tablespoons milk 1/2 tsp coconut extract 1/2 tsp vanilla 1/2 cup toasted coconut 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips 1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds If you are toasting your own coconut and almonds, do that first, and place them in the freezer to cool while you prepare the dip. Beat cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl till smooth and creamy. Beat in powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of the milk, coconut extract, and vanilla. Stir in the toasted coconut, chocolate chips, and sliced almonds. Add more milk if needed. You can serve immediately, or chill for 30 minutes or several hours. It actually tastes better after the flavors have had a chance to blend. Serve with graham crackers or fresh fruit. We like granny smith apples.
